Flex Wheeler's bodyfat leading up to the 93 Olympia

AVBG · 10-03-2010, 07:29 PM

Jim Quinn said on the ESPN coverage that they did a skin fold measurement which showed 0.0% bodyfat on Flex Wheeler at the Gold's in Venice one week before the 93 Mr. Olympia. He also said Flex was the only bodybuilder to ever do that.

A skin fold measurement would not give that accurate of a measurement.
Flex may of had 3% or 4% at the most.

Billy Smith was there.. he can back it up.

The most impresive part is that he's a nattie! Go figure.

If Flex was at 0.0% then Andreas Munzer must have been at minus 0.0%... is that even possible...lol.

Just curious. Did Jim Quinn say how many skinfold points (3, 5, 7, 9 places) were checked on Flex Wheeler?

Damn Flex looks amazing, makes me want to try the good stuff.

we're talking about something that occurred 17 years ago.

ok... who did the skin fold measurement?

If someone isn't extremely experienced at it and only do a few points, it can be wayyy off. I had mine done at 14 weeks out for my nutrition class and it said I was 5.7% bf LOL. That was off by almost 10%.

He certainly was shredded, but was probably about 4-5ish%. Its too bad he never matched that again.

Skin folds are not that accurate and to get 0%? Get the fuck outta here. You would be DEAD!

haha, still Flex was Mr. Olympia here, I don't care what the record shows...dude was ridiculous.

**Costco77** · 10-03-2010, 08:07 PM

Flex looks unbelieveable in that pic!

But it's humanly imposible to have 0% bodyfat because there's fat that's essential to life. There's internal fat that protects your brain and other organs and lipid layers surrounding cells....so if you're at 0% bf you are dead.

Jim Quinn is a kidder... to this day he's best pals with Jimmy The Bull.....lol.

It's Billy Smith backing it up as a fact that makes it all so funny.

Flex is either clinically dead in that pic or Jimmy Quinn's kidding around again. hmm??

Big Barry · 10-03-2010, 08:14 PM

Still, this is some damn awesome conditioning....

A Skin-fold measurement would not be accurate when you get into low percentages. Medically speaking at zero, vital organs such as the heart shut down. I doubt Flex had zero, but I am sure he was crazy low. Check out the striations on the lower lats, you do not see that anymore.
